The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5.

It's 2023 I just played this for my Grand daughter, And she's watching and laughing at seven months old.... Lambchop and Shari Lewis are timeless

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

I always thought she was so beautiful and kind when I watched Lamb Chop on PBS as a little girl. It is such a joy watching videos of her early career! Rip Shari Lewis. You were truly a gem who shaped so many of our childhood ❤🙏🏽

[@patriciaguth6882]

Shari was a fabulous ventriloquist, and she created great characters!

[@OrdinaryMan1999-tn4hh]

Hush Puppy, Charlie Horse and everyone's favorite sassy Lambchop.

[@tommylampini3737]

She was a trailblazer. Not many female entertainers back then. She had as much courage as talent.

[@outtathyme5679]

Maybe the greatest ventriloquist of all time. Certainly the most beautiful

[@matrox]

I grew up watching her. I never realized how good she was because now as an adult I can see she never moved her lips.

[@rushnerd]

I had no idea her career went this far back. She is flawless in execution. It's really impressive.

[@Juliaflo]

I heard of her back in the 1950's. Uh-uh....don't figure out my age. LOL.

[@tomkohlman8110]

She reminds me of Darci Lynne who AGT a few years back. She probably inspired Darci Lynne

This was just before my 7th birthday and I loved Shari Lewis. 😍 I never missed her show Saturday mornings right after Howdy Doody. That was a totally different time and world. 🤔 It was a great time to be a kid. I know.... Okay Boomer 🥸

[@michaeltuz608]

Shari Lewis was my first crush! So lovely and so charming! I was six when this aired, and I was totally smitten, even though I didn't fully appreciate at the time just how talented Shari was. What an incredible ventriloquist! Thank you _so much_ for posting this!

[@johnj.2486]

Mine also. I was about 5 years old and thought she was beautiful.

[@aarone9000]

You and me both! When she died it was a kick in the gut!

[@BRONXGIRL10]

Two words:. The Best! What a talent!

[@benbrinegar4058]

I didn’t expect the jingle bells. I’m glad her daughter is treading in her footsteps.

[@palehorse1111]

There is an aura of warmth and love around everything that she did. A truly sweet, caring lady that brought happiness to children and adults, you can only hope you have a legacy like that in the end.

[@Queenalika85]

Shari Lewis was always beautiful and talented

[@BingBong67489]

Man, just watched this right after watching her "Hello Goodbye" video that she recorded after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Such a mood seeing her so young, right after seeing her at the end.

[@cincyphil]

I grew up with her in the 80s and 90s, and seeing her doing such an incredible job this far back is truly wonderful.

[@rogershore3128]

I can't get over the fact she co wrote one of the original episodes of Star Trek.....

[@trainliker100]

I grew up watching this American treasure. Just wonderful. I don't recall any other female ventriloquists back in the day although perhaps there were some. Today, there are more like the incredibly hilarious Nina Conti and "Monkey". And, of course, Darci Lynne who won on America's Got Talent but seems to have switched to songwriting and singing.

[@Playbyplaymedia]

Great stuff- charm, writing, nuance, execution...

[@sarahtherunner]

She's fabulous! I loved her so much when I was little. She was so positive and seemed so friendly. What a talent!

Shari was the first ventriloquist I ever saw on tv, with Lamb Chop. I couldn't work out how Lamb Chop could talk. My little brain was frazzled!

[@JoseMorales-lw5nt]

Not bad for a young lady from the Parkchester section of The Bronx! To think, growing up in the 80's and 90's, I only thought Shari Lewis was just a funny puppet lady on PBS! She was nearly 40 years in the entertainment industry by the time I was introduced to her great talents...❤

OMG this is a wonderful wonderful person that helped me grow up when I was a child, watching her shows on PBS!!! I just watched her on a classic show called something like " call it 54" or something like that nd she was on it. Nd I decided to look up thee actors names, nd I ran into her other things she played on, nd I was shocked to know it was this person all along I was watching on that "54" nd I wouldn't have known it was Shari Lewis.

[@wolverine67044]

I remember when the christmas I was four years old. It was xmas am. I was standing in front of the tree in amazement looking at the gifts. I ended up flat on the floor. Side of my head began to hurt as i looked up & saw my father standing there. I was about to start crying, which was forbidden, before he hit me again one of my bros got me. Picked me uo took me to a bedroom. Put me in a closet & told me to be quiet & stop crying. I didn't know what i did wrong. It was the first time i can remember getting hit. I felt nauseous all day as I hid in the closet. No one checked on me. When it got dark out i clmbed into bed. Next morning i made sure i couldn't hear my dad then went to the tree. No more presents were left. My stocking was gone. I got nothing from santa that year. No gifts at all. Thats my memory

@@wolverine67044 Your situation sounds like how many of mine were after my mother died. My stepmother was abusive like that
